He won't be fired with only 10 more games left in the season. Dolan will give him the playoffs to right this ship if they get embarassed in the 1st round then you might see him get the axe but I doubt very much he's going anywhere before the postseason begins. If Dolan fires him I certainly won't be shedding any tears though, that's for sure.

This will be MDA's 1st offseason to improve a playoff team into a serious contender...

Yes, he messed up bad with young guys like AR & that career bust until now in Darko: but after watching MDA try DIFFERENT players @ C in Turiaf, Amare, a project rookie from Russia, JJ, Shawne & Shelden... There is no way ANYONE can tell me that MDA wouldn't welcome not a "project", but an NBA PROVEN Starting C such as M.Gasol, Nene, Dalembert or Jordan. Thats like saying this man "want's to lose". He's started 6-7 different C's this year; he's trying.

Plus; if Walsh passed up on a TRUE C', "just to make MDA happy" what does that say about our GM?

I'm giving NY time to gain PLAYOFF EXPERIENCE, a Draft to improve our bench depth, Free Agency to upgrade the NBA's worst 5 hole + an Offseaon of TC, Practice(s), time to GEL & an ENTIRE Preseason to get ready. If we're not AT LEAST 7 gms above .500 after 20 gms next year? I'll turn anti MDA too; but not before giving him an offseason to improve his 1st playoff team with NY.

With all that said... I just wanna see this team head into the playoffs with a winning record above .500.

A win tonight (won't be easy) take us back to 1 game below .500 where anything is possible. Falling 3 games below .500 wouldn't be good for this coach, these players, this team or even us fans.

The mid-season trade depleated this playoff team & it's more than obvious we need an offseason to gain team chemistry, trust & understanding of this team & surrounding players.

It's not easy on MDA either. Not after losing 3 starters in Felton (His PG he worked with since day 1 of the offseason), Gallo, Mozgov (We still sucked on D & he only averaged 2 & 3 per) + an explosive 6th man in Chandler. It hasn't been easy on MDA either. Yeah... We landed Melo but Billups has been rusty & trash since the injury.

This "coach" didn't get worse because of this trade, the TEAM got worse because of a mid-season trade that gutted the roster. I'm glad we landed Melo... But unless a light switch goes off during the playoffs..

Please replace shawnee williams with Bill Walker.
Williams is hurt and Bill Walker had a huge presence in the Heat game.

PLEASE do not have douglas start over fields as he did in the 2nd half. If Billups is not playing up to par then let douglas play point as he did when Billups was hurt. Do not sit fields......

If you replace Williams with Walker who guards the C position? Williams doing it is a stretch at best. Whats funny is they annouced last night that Williams was playing with a broken or sprained finger on his shooting hand. He shouldnt be playing at all.

As far as Douglas starting the 2nd quarter I actually give MOA a . Jennings was killing us. TD shut him down in the third.
